Answers
Answer:
A Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky is a poem written by Charles Ludwig Dodgson (who went by the pen name 'Lewis Carroll'). Carroll was an English author, who is most famous for his novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. He was also a successful poet, mathematician, and photographer.
The poem, A Boat Beneath A Sunny Sky, tells the story of Carroll with a group of children in the summer and is interactions with them. It also describes his sentiments and the sentiments of the children after they have been separated.
It consists of seven, three-line, stanzas. It follows an interesting rhyme scheme, where the three lines of each stanza rhyme, but not all of the stanzas rhyme with each other (some do, though).

In “A Boat, Beneath a Sunny Sky,” Carroll conveys the implacability of time through images of its consequences—the “pal[ing]” of a “sunny sky,” the changing of a season, and the loss of wonder or innocence that often accompanies the transition to adulthood.
Explanation:
This poem talks about the loss of Carroll's loved one. Alice grew up and forgot her childhood, which
was everything he loved about her. This poem is Carroll's reflection of the sad truth that everyone grows
up, leaving behind all the great things about being young and naive, and that no matter how hard you
try, nothing stays the same. In a broader sense, the message Dodgson was trying to get across was to
enjoy the times of youth, because that in itself is more beneficial than anything else.
